Participants in the Healthy Corner Stores Network (HCSN) work to promote the sale of healthy, fresh, affordable foods in small, neighborhood stores in underserved communities.

Corner stores frequently only carry unhealthy food items, liquor, and tobacco—and low-income communities and areas with limited access to public and private transportation often rely on these stores as their primary grocery outlets. The HCSN supports the work of participant organizations to promote innovative retail models, policies and programs that can help corner stores become the backbone of healthy neighborhood food retail.
